That's sort of a vague statement though.. since the "internet" is everything from VOIP, Websites, IM's, Chatting, etc...

Assuming for a minute that the 3 i mentioned were identical in performance for a browser (the ipod touch, the iphone, the n810).. then the determining factor for purchase would be the added components..

The iphone, obviously, the phone capability. Ipod Touch for games. The N810 for a little of everything.. from Games, to Phone Capability (Using VOIP), to Browser. Then the software that each can hold.. the apple stores are typically pay-per-software, with free "lite" versions.. while the n810 is almost completely free.

I consider the N810 more of a "Jack of all Trades, master of none" device. I know it's called an "Internet Tablet".. and I see your reasoning behind it should be a "perfect" "internet" device... but while it isn't a perfect internet device to me.. it's quite a bit more when I consider everything it's capable of.

Like I said.. it may just not be good enough for you, for the purposes you intended for it - which is fine.. since I admit it has flaws.. especially in browsing.. I have seen glitches here and there and if you go from youtube video to youtube video it really bogs it down pretty bad... so probably whats best is to wait for the next generation device that *should* have a much better processor, and more memory in it.. like some other people have pointed out here.

The biggest problem with the "Internet Tablet" right now.. is the hardware. With better hardware this device would fly through Flash, Java, and anything else with ease.

I hate to say that the device is useless to you... but there's only so much power this little thing can do in flash videos. They play, and most of the time they play decent, which is probably the best I think we'll get, for now anyway.
